You know, it's not easy to offend me. But today (or yesterday, technically.....), during my English class, this really annoying kid I know tells the following joke; "What's the difference between a Jew and a pizza? The fact that pizzas don't scream when put in the oven!" The worst part of it all though? All of the little fucks around him laughed

Maybe I'm just bitchy (or it's my Jewish blood from my mother's side of the family), but that seriously reeked of absurd levels of ignorance and stupidity.

I don't know how making fun of jewish people became acceptable or popular, it really is a mystery to me. You'd have to have some hate for them or find the holocaust to be joke to just casually drop offensive tripe like that.

All these jokes about the holocaust are despicable,anne frankly I won't stand﻿ for it

But seriously any racist jokes are pretty acceptable where I'm from. I'm sick of most of them.

A racist joke is one thing. Mocking one of the most horrible events in the history of mankind though? That's different. I know people who are as Jewish as Ivan Drago yet would still spit in your face if you made fun of the Holocaust.

Oh man is Helloween's third Keeper album amazing. If I've said I like seeing bands with their own definitive, trademarked style before, this is the epitome of that. Such a wonderfully colorful, textured and enjoyable album...might have to finally review it.

I witnessed the same thing once, except that one of the guys who laughed at the joke was jewish himself.I also remember a black dude saying, after someone messed something up, don't remember exactly what, that "this kind of shitty job could only be done by a nigger".

He had a mere thirty posts, I hardly doubt he was bothering you that much unless he was one of those martyr posters, who keep posting obviously inane topics only to be locked a few posts later. Did he really plagiarize a review though?

Not a particularly funny joke that one, but Holocaust like every other thing is and should be fair game for jokes of any kind. Getting offended, especially when the target is a group where you belong to and not you in particular is to my mind completely ridiculous.

You really don't see why somebody would be offended at people making fun of an attempted genocide against their people less than seventy years ago? Believe me, I'm not typically one to shy away from a tasteless joke, but if there's any one style of jokes that people can understandably be offended by, it's fucking holocaust jokes.

So many pc vaginas posting here it really is sad, if you get offended big fucking deal go listen to shitty George Carlin and lament about your superior comedic sensibilities over us poor folk who can actually look past the horror of the subject matter and recognize a "good" punchline based on our own inferior subjective preferences. I get the point boohoo lots of people died but have you ever thought of how done to death memorializing the Holocaust has been.

Honestly, no. I don't. But I'm not a part of any of the minorities that have had something heinous done to them just for something they were born as, so what do I know? Maybe it's something completely incomprehensible to me, I don't know. I do know however, that if someone were for example to make a joke about any of my dead relatives or similar "touchy" subjects I wouldn't get offended and even if I'd fail to see the humor in it, I'd certainly not moan and call foul play.

People keep talking about the Nightwish situation, and fail to see the important stuff happening in the world of female vocalists of Finnish metal bands: Battle Beast has a new frontlady. And not a bad one, either.

Anyone that still thinks poop and mass murder jokes are still funny really needs to start watching British Television.Don't get me wrong, I'll still laugh my ass off at the beginning of "Postal" but damn, British humor just kicks America's collective ass's.

Grossly racist (/sexist/bigoted) jokes are almost never actually funny. The people who think they are are just getting a high from the fact that they are gross and offensive which is probably the poorest form of humor.

I agree, but not because it's impossible or even difficult to create a funny racist/bigoted/sexist joke, but because most of the times the emphasis seems to be on the wrong part of the joke: on being offensive and not on being funny.

Not to say that being offensive purely for the reason of shocking people is completely worthless either.

(...) I'm not a part of any of the minorities that have had something heinous done to them just for something they were born as, so what do I know?

You know, there's this little thing called "empathy"..... Have you heard about it?

It'll only be done to death when people stop making fucking retarded statements such as yours.
